Our analysis

Breaking the 60 down: the biggest single loss is ingredient quality, where it takes 20.7 of a possible 40. Its strongest showing is additives at 10 of 10.

The label declares no meat percentage at all, so there is no way to verify how much of the recipe is animal protein, and the ingredient list is only partly specific.

Feeding & cost

What a bag actually costs to feed - worked out per dog, not per pack.

Pack sizeRRPPer kg
500 g£10.99£21.98

How heavy is your dog?

A typical 15 kg adult dog needs about 4259 g a day = £93.61 / day, £2,845.74 / month.

How we work this out
  1. Energy: an adult dog at rest needs about 95 × weight0.75 kcal a day (the FEDIAF maintenance formula - a 15 kg dog works out near 725 kcal).
  2. Portion: divide that by this food's energy density, 17 kcal/100g, to get the grams above - a denser food needs fewer grams.
  3. Cost: multiply the grams by this food's price, £21.98 / kg, for the daily cost, then by 30.4 days for the month.

Estimates scale to your dog's weight and the food's calorie density - a denser food needs fewer grams. A rough guide; always follow the pack. Try the full feeding calculator
